Bezza Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi all, Currently got myself a ybr125 and looking forsomething a little bigger when i pass my test next month (fingers crossed ) i have been checking ebay and found things like GS500's CB500's ZR550's etc... basically a big commuter style bike like the ybr. they all seem to be going on ebay for a decent looking bike for £600-1200 BUT will they actually work or am i going to ride one half way home and be on the phone to the AA? Any one got any helps? or know where i can get a decent one cheap? :D Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezza Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 lol, can you get those bikes for good prices and if so what sort of prices? i need something to do 20 miles a day (ten miles each way) and dont really have too much to spend but the ybr is a little crap for getting past any one doing over 40 i dont mind having a bike with poor cosmetics as long as i can find a good solid engine which will run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
